What is it about a trip to Central America that may be the one factor that will make this trip a trip of a lifetime?

Is it the chance to catch a tarpin or a permit on a fly?

Is it getting a break from the U.S. winners for a warm tropical location?

Or is it the local food and people that make this trip magical?

My guest today is going to take us into a recently launched Honduran fly fishing lot Or is it the local food and people that make this trip magical?

My guest today is going to take us into a recently launched Hondurian fly fishing lodge.

And today, you will find out how this operation is unique and how you can do it yourself

this year.

This is the Wet Fly Swing podcast where I show you the best places to travel to for fly fishing,

how to find the best resources and tools to prepare for that big trip, and what you can do to give back to the fish species you love.

Hey, how's it going? I'm Dave. Host the Webfly Swing podcast. I've been fly fishing since I was a little kid. I grew up around a little fly shop and have created one of the largest fly fishing podcasts in this country. I've also interviewed more of the greatest fly anglers

than just about anyone in the world. Cam Gordon, fishhound expeditions guide and Honduras

fly lodge owner is going to share the unique experience that is Honduras. We find out what

Cam thinks is the best time for fishing at this location. We're going to find out what the island of Utila is like and how this is so much different than a lot of the places you're going to head out to. We dig into this amazing little island, how it all happens, how to get there, and the fishing. We're going to find out what it was like building this thing from the ground up to one of the most famous flats fishing areas in the world. Plus, you're going to find out how to think like a fly and to get more fish to take

your offering this year. Time to travel to another spectacular fishing destination, this time with

friend of the podcast, Cam Gordon from Bay Island Expedition.com.

How you doing, Cam? Hey, Dave. Good morning. I'm great. How are you, man? Good, good, good. We're going to follow up on an episode we had episode 447. We'll have a link in the show notes where we talked about basically this lodge that you have going. And I think back then, it was a little bit earlier in the process. Right now, you've kind of launched this thing out there and people can actually check in on it and reserve a spot. So we're going to talk about Honduras. We're going to talk about, you know, all the species down that are amazing, how you're different from maybe some of the other lodges up north of you, things like that. But yeah, let's start with the update. What's been going on the last year since we tie? I think it was almost a year ago to the day that we talked.

What's been? How's this last year been for you? Oh, man, it has been wild. Yeah, it has been a

wild year. Yeah, starting a, you know, fly fishing resort down in Honduras. Turns out it's

no easy task, but we just had our soft opening, as I was calling it.

Because, so, you know, obviously, as you know, I guide full time in Alaska for the summer.

And so I have a lot of repeat clients now at this point.
